Kitfox™
SERVICE LETTER #2
SUBJECT:
FUEL TANK INSTALLATION
TO:
ALL Kitfox™ OWNERS
FROM:
DENNEY AEROCRAFT COMPANY
FUEL
TANK INSTALLATION:
We recommend the use of structural adhesive to join the E-26 Fuel Tank and the
E-21 Filler Neck. Silicon that claims to be gasoline resistant may be attacked
by additives in some brands of gasoline. Some builders have experienced a
physical deterioration of silicon based products used to join the E-21 Filler
Neck and the E-26 Fuel Tank. The silicon has become stringy and dropped into the
tank.
When
fueling the Kitfox™ use extreme caution and strain all gasoline to remove any
impurities in the fuel. Shell and Chevron Company officials have assured us that
they have no ethanol or alcohol additives. Use only gasoline with a pump octane
rating over 85.
